Abstract: A hybrid bucket assembly for a work vehicle having movable loader arms includes a reinforcing structure having a first edge plate, a second edge plate and at least two support members extending from the first edge plate. The reinforcing structure is for coupling the bucket assembly to the movable loader arms. The bucket assembly includes a double-wall bucket defining a volume for carrying material. The bucket is coupled to the at least two support members of the reinforcing structure, and the bucket has a leading edge coupled between the first edge plate and the second edge plate.

Abstract: A hybrid loader boom arm assembly for a loader work vehicle includes an arm assembly. The arm assembly includes a hollow first beam formed from a lightweight material and a block formed from a second lightweight material. The block has a first block end received within a first end of the first beam. The arm assembly includes at least one first steel reinforcing plate coupled to the first beam at the end, and at least one connecting plate coupled to the at least one first reinforcing plate.

Abstract: A hybrid loader boom arm assembly kit for a loader work vehicle includes a hollow first beam formed from a lightweight material, and a block formed from a second lightweight material. The block is configured to couple within the first beam. The kit includes at least one first steel reinforcing plate configured to couple to the first beam at the end, and at least one connecting plate configured to couple to the at least one first reinforcing plate.

Abstract: A hybrid loader boom arm assembly for a loader work vehicle includes an arm assembly that includes a first beam formed from a lightweight material and a second beam formed from the lightweight material. The loader boom arm includes a connection assembly having a first steel plate and a pair of knee plates formed from the lightweight material. A portion of the first steel plate is received within the first beam and a second portion of the first steel plate is received within the second beam. The pair of knee plates cooperate to define a first channel that receives the end of the first beam and a second channel that receives the second end of the second beam. The first steel plate and the pair of knee plates are configured for interconnecting the first beam with the second beam.

Abstract: A work vehicle including a work implement having a left mounting pin and a right mounting pin laterally spaced from the left mounting pin and a boom assembly configured to manipulate the work implement. The work vehicle includes first and second holders coupling the work implement to the boom assembly, and each of the holders having a left holder opening and a right holder opening laterally spaced from the respective left holder opening. In a first configuration, the left mounting pin connects to the left holder opening of the first holder and the right mounting pin connects to the right holder opening of the second holder. The first and second holders are identical and interchangeable such that in a second configuration, the left mounting pin connects to the left holder opening of the second holder and the right mounting pin connects to the right holder opening of the first holder.
